Saw Wet Wet (almost) Wet last night at the glasshouse in Newcastle. It was a surprisingly great show (Almost 3 Wets as Marti Pellow is no longer with the band) . #newcastle #glasshouse

Here's an excellent video from Architectural Digest about the Geoponika greenhouse, a "plant orphanage" in LA of old plant collections. The plants are cared for by landscape designer Carlos Campos Morera. Among the collection is a female Welwitschia (an ancient Namibian gymnosperm) which is grown in stacked old sewer pipes to allow it to grow a deep tap root to a deep desert water table.

LA Times: He crossed the border for a better life. He returned to Mexico in a casket
"Jaime Alanis García, a 56-year-old Mexican farmworker, died after falling while fleeing immigration agents during a workplace raid in California.
Mourned by hundreds in his hometown of Huajúmbaro de Guadalupe, his death has intensified fear and anger across migrant-sending communities in Mexico."
I contend that Philip Johnson's twee Glass House is the story of the emperor's new clothes rendered as architecture, or possibly that it's the box his ego came in.
